The dog carries two copies of the mutant gene and
therefore it will pass the mutant gene to its entire offspring.

The dog will develop X-Linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (X-SCID) and will pass the mutant gene to its entire female offspring

Description

This is a mutation-based gene test, which offers many advantages over other methods

The genetic defect leading to the disease has been identified. By DNA testing, the responsible mutation can be shown directly. This method provides a very high accuracy test and can be done at any age. It offers the possibility to distinguish not only between affected and clear dogs, but also to identify clinically healthy carriers. This is an essential information for controlling the disease in the breed, as carriers are able to spread the disease in the population, but can not be identified by means of common laboratory diagnostic.
